1. Apple and Onion Beef Pot Roast

Keen on spending time with friends and family before you sit down to dinner? Taste of Home’spot roast uses a crock pot, allowing you to make a Sunday supper without having spent hours toiling over the stove. It makes about 8 servings.

Ingredients:

1 beef sirloin tip roast (3 pounds), cut in half

1 cup water

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

½ teaspoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

1 large tart apple, quartered

1 large onion, sliced

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons cold water

⅛ teaspoon browning sauce

Directions: In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown roast on all sides. Transfer to a 5-quart slow cooker. Add water to the skillet, stirring to loosen any browned bits; pour over roast. Sprinkle with seasoned salt, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Top with apple and onion.

Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until the meat is tender. Remove roast and onion; let stand for 15 minutes before slicing. Strain cooking liquid into a saucepan, discarding apple. Bring liquid to a boil; cook until reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir in browning sauce. Stir into cooking liquid. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with beef and onion.
